94金76银50铜!中国残奥队巴黎完美收官!

From Athens 2004 to Paris 2024, China’s Paralympic delegation (代表团) has stayed on top in six Summer Games. They always win the most gold medals and are number one in total medals.

The Chinese team showed its strength again in swimming, athletics, table tennis, fencing and badminton. They got 22 gold medals in swimming and 21 in athletics.
